| | PS on WinCE? Just wondering if there are (or ever will be) plans for a Powershell environment for PocketPC/Windows Mobile? I did find PythonCE and PyCeIDE on SourceForge - that gives a pretty good IDE with syntax highlighting and class browsing - quite a good way to knock up some software (assuming you spend hours commuting each day away from your desktop) and don't mind learning Python. But that got me thinking, if it can be done for Python - why not Powershell? Maybe Powershell is bigger/harder to implement, or Python's just been around a lot longer? Regards, Duncan |

Maybe some third-party company will take it up. As you noted, there are a few other options out there for on-device Windows Mobile development, but none of them as cool as PowerShell.  -- Hal Rottenberg Blog: http://halr9000.com Webmaster, Psi (http://psi-im.org) Co-host, PowerScripting Podcast (http://powerscripting.net) |

It would certainly welcome to look through the source code from time to time and make use of PS on more platforms (like Mono). Of course this may differ from MS strategy which is fair enough, but it's in line with what happened to .NET... Regards, Duncan |
